Neychoru or Kerala Style Ghee rice 🍚 is a very rich Pulao recipe that is absolutely tasty. You can make it in a pressure cooker at home or in a pan. This rice recipe is a traditional recipe and uses dry fruits and raisins cooked together with ghee.

You can eat this simple plain with any vegetable curry or just serve it hot with curd. I love to eat my Lehsooni dal with Ghee Rice and it tastes yummy.
